One Year

I can’t believe that I have successfully challenged myself to write a daily blog post for an entire year. There has been no rhyme or reason for what I write about. General rule of thumb about my posts- whatever pops into my head.

I have tried to write positive blogs as often as I could. Some are even amusing. On occasion I have shared a personal story of heartbreak or pain. Those stories have defined who I am. But I noticed that for a few days after sharing a sad tale, I would feel miserable. It was hard to get back into a positive frame of mind.

I am tall in general.

The one thing that I noticed about sharing stories is that I have led a pretty good life. I have shared many moments with some great friends and family. I’ve had a chance to relive my journey thus far. I can honestly say that throughout the struggles and challenges, my life is exactly where I want it to be.

Writing a positive daily post about my life and opinions has made me a happier person. Being a happier person has also improved everything about how I see the world. There is a silver lining to every cloud. There is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. Unicorns have sparkly poop.

One Year…

One year. I may be the only one celebrating this goal. But that was the point of my journey. Writing daily was for me. I shared it with the world so that people could use my life lessons as advice. I’ve had a ton of fun writing every day. I’ll admit that I struggled from time to time to come up with a topic. As well I squeaked a few blog posts in just before midnight. I never had a set time of day that I would post. In hindsight, if I want more readership I should look at those stats.

I reached my one year goal and I’m not ready to stop the momentum. I have a few stories still on the burner. A huge thank you to everyone for the feedback and support. If you’ve Come Here To See All My Mistakes– I’m sorry to disappoint.

I leave you with some Sinatra to end my one year:

And now, the end is near;

And so I face the final curtain.

My friend, I’ll say it clear,

I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full.
